Having locked in at least a Wild Card appearance at the end of the VFL home and away series, it's time for Casey to show what it's made of against two other finalists before the business end of the season. The Lions away this week followed by top team Box Hill beyond that presents Casey with a major challenge. It won't be easy but it will be good preparation for the players.

Siren sounds and that’s the ball game. This was another commanding display by the Demons, who will enjoy a bye next week before facing a couple of tough challenges. Although they are not yet guaranteed a finals spot, and may regret a few narrow defeats at the hands of lower-ranked teams a few weeks ago, they remain well-placed to secure a wildcard game next month. For now, it’s a matter of observing how the other contenders perform next week.

Oh. Harry Sharp kicks goal #5. Not a good prescription for senior selection at the Demons.
